    No thanks.
  • It sounds a bit similar to a cardio-circuit workout that I do: 10 repetitions of bench press, 20 butterfly lifts, 10 shoulder shrugs (hold 50 pound weights in each hand and shrug your shoulders as high as you can get them), 15 bicep curls (either per arm or you can do both with a bar), 10 lifts on the leg sled, and 15 tricep pulls. Repeat three times, doing them as fast as you can while still remaining in control. In the past 10 months since I've started this, I've added 60 pounds to my bench press (current
  • When I played football, we did this, starting from the goal line:

    Run to the 5 yard line and do five (5) push-ups, five (5) set-ups, and five (5) up-downs*. Then we bear crawl back to the goal line.

    Next, we run to the 5 yard line and do five (5) push-ups, five (5) set-ups, and five (5) up-downs. Run to the 10 yard one and do ten (10) push-ups, ten (10) set-ups, and five (10) up-downs, Then bear crawl back to the goal line.

    Next, run to the 5 yard line and do five (5) push-ups, five (5) set-ups, and five (5
    • gah! sure sounds like fun.... I think. What is a bear crawl. I've never heard of this.

      • yeah.. i think it comes out to like 6k each push-ups,sit-ups, and up downs... Bear crawl is when you crawl on your hands and feet (not knees).
        • Wow. You know, in some respects, I wish there was a group I could get with to do my conditioning because working out alone in the weight room lends to slopy form (if at all) and I don't push myself very hard. In fact last night was going to be a big long workout but I had too much to eat earlier so my stomach started hurting when I started in on my 3 mile run so I quit after .6 miles.

          If I was running with a group or at least in a group setting I bet there would have been much more motivation to "suck up
  • So what is your form for the squats? I'm interested because I haven't been testing myself for the verticle jump though I can touch a 10 foot rim so I assume I have enough of a vert to qualify.

    I must be thinking of lunges instead of squats because there are afew ways to do lunges.

    • Feet roughly shoulder width apart with hands at waist. Back straight, lower yourself, bending at knees until your hands touch ankles. Come back up to standing. Repeat. That's one rep.

  • Back when I used to wrestle, we did:

    10 Jumping Jacks, 10 Mountain Climbers, 10 Push-ups, 10 sit-ups, 10 V-sits.
    9 Jumping Jacks, 9 Mountain Climbers, 9 Push-ups, 9 sit-ups, 9 V-sits.
    8 Jumping Jacks, 8 Mountain Climbers, 8 Push-ups, 8 sit-ups, 8 V-sits.
    .
    .
    .

    Of course, at the end we would spend a few minutes on the last push up (half way down! up! three-quarters down! up!) and V-sit (six-inches! up! half-way! up!)... And if we didn't do well during a match, the next day started at 15-20 reps. :p

  • I can do part of it no problem:
    Then you walk very carefully and deliberately the next day. And skip your cardio machine workout, too.
    That last bit especially I do all the time; can I do that several times instead of all those squats/push-ups? In which case I'm a blackjack monster, baby!

    And: nice new sig you've got!

    heh not a chance in hell i'd do that :P the only thing I can do besides ride all day is run up and down stairs. I did a race up 30 flights a month ago and won. Couldn't walk the next day tho...
